1 prediction · 1 opinion · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 1 claim: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.
